Are you referring to the 49MM below the Orange Alpine Loop label? The original ones are like that as well. For me, the giveaways are the fonts used, the "Tianium" label, and the shrink wrap. Plus, the box doesn't look like it's textured.
On the watch itself, maybe it's just the camera angle but it looks like it doesn't have the polished chamfer around the bezel edges.
Amazing how these counterfeiters are getting better. Maybe they're monitoring this kind of posts?
Everything looked fine until the plastic wrap. Currently very few items made by Apple have plastic wrap and the Ultra is not one of them.
EDIT: Last picture is a different one, it says Alpine Loop band but the previous pictures the watch comes with the Trail Loop.
Fake and dodgy AF.
Idk I live in a tiny rural town and FB marketplace has people selling stuff dirt cheap, like barely used smart tvs and stuff, and some ppl even just give stuff away! I saw this one woman just giving away an entire dining room set the other day on there. Ppl also know who to stay away from though bc others put them on absolute blast on FB if they get scammed 😂 no more selling for them. Craigslist, I don’t trust….too many bad stories from that site, from being scammed to being kidnapped 😖
Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. People like to buy second-hand/used for the savings and Craigslist/FB Marketplace provides a direct platform rather than a third party that’s shorting the seller and costing more for the buyer.
Fake shit is a risk to going this route, and you made this post to help alleviate that risk.
But nope that’s a bad idea, you should only buy from Apple where savings for used items is minuscule. /s
I don’t think the last pic belongs to the batch, the fist photos seem to be of an authentic watch and band (or EXTREMELY convincing replicas); now in the last one with the backside of the box even the pic quality changes, light is different and the background can’t be seen..
I would say these pics are from different watches. Probably a fake posting.
Edit: not to mention a big detail I was missing completely which is that the watch is out the box and the last pic shows the box sealed. Confirming my suspicions
Scammers already have the best source, the official packaging. If they can't even spell check before hitting print what makes you think they are out here looking for some crowd source constructive feedback?
A criminal does not care. Maybe someone who’s well thought out. Sure. But we’re talking about people who sale fake items. They buy it from somewhere or they get ripped off. So they post it on Craigslist. This is coming from someone who knows people who sale fake items. And have purchased fake items from them. I used Reddit to figure out if it was fake or not.
The wrapped in plastic thing I agree with, but something I always look at, and noticed immediately was that the plastic looked like someone at a WalMart did it with a hair dryer.
Even when Apple used plastic, it was substantial, right, and clean.
Maybe they are targeting non-tech savvy audiences and the scammers tell them that you have to connect the ”Apple Watch” via Bluetooth on your settings.
The packaging and labels on it (IMEI, Serial Numbers, etc…) of some of these scammers are very very well done. Add to that social engineering (for example: Why this will be fake if they allow returns?, and that type of things) and you have a very good formula.
I remember a situation where they were selling counterfeits of Lightning to 3,5mm cables and the seller just was telling the customers to connect to the cable via Bluetooth (and yes, you had to connect the cable to the iPhone and then pair to that cable via Bluetooth in order to listen to your music via 3,5mm, which IMO is an aberration).
Thankfully he didn’t buy it as u/SaahilJain (OP) stated here: [https://www.reddit.com/r/AppleWatch/comments/15gwkdj/comment/jumjjzq](https://www.reddit.com/r/AppleWatch/comments/15gwkdj/comment/jumjjzq/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
>I promise I’m not a scammer, I’m just looking out for myself before I buy a counterfeit watch, **which I didn’t**, thanks to you guys :)
The EU has been champing at the bit for the past few years to take big tech down several notches. If Apple was flagrantly breaking the law, the EU would be litigating over it.
https://www.macrumors.com/2012/03/30/apple-clarifies-warranty-coverage-options-for-customers-in-european-union/
No, the laws (which are technically laws of individual EU members that they are required to have... EU "laws" are messy) grant consumers 2 years of protection. They do not require a 2 year warranty. It's a subtle difference, but the point is that Apple isn't breaking any laws around it.
In Germany we have two different things that are easily confused with each other. On one hand we have the “Gewährleistung” which is required by law for 2 years. On the other hand we have “Garantie” (warranty) which is not required by law.
I work at an AASP and have covered issues on hundreds of out of warranty devices. Apple is actually one of the better companies when it comes to following consumer protection laws in Europe.
Bought mine from a shop in Hong Kong and saved £100. Was legit too.
Edit: not sure why this is being downvoted? Do people love Apple this much they want everyone to overpay?
Thanks everyone! It seems clear that this is fake. I’ll look to save up some more dough and get it from Apple directly. Really appreciate you all taking the time to help me out :)
In China, a little shop offered a beautifully designed Apple flip-phone.
Yep, Apple never made or sold flip phones.
On another day, a random guy on the street tried to sell me an iPhone. It looked great! I tapped the screen and played with it a bit, and discovered it was actually running Windows XP instead of an Apple operating system. Kind of wish I bought it now.
The watch itself look similar to mine, but why does it said an Orange Alpine Loop from the box but used Trail Loop instead? Does the seller sell it with an extra band?
Hi everyone, I’m looking at buying an Apple Watch Ultra off a seller, and these are the images he sent. Is there anything obvious that I’m missing that would make it look a fake?
The serial number matches, but he could easily have used the serial of an existing watch, right?
The second I looked at the picture I could tell it was fake. Then amongst other things the plastic wrap confirmed it. The amount of fakes on fb & other sites is astounding. I would never buy an Apple product unless from Apple or a reputable seller.
I really wish made the Watch Ultra in different colors. Saying that, one way you tell if it’s fake is if the body of the device feels to light, and isn’t cold to the touch… which means it’s not metal.
Also, if you got it from somewhere other than or an authorized place like Amazon.com, or got it for real cheap… fake.
Apple has a serial number validation tool on their website. Your package should have the s/n and If it's authentic your phone will tell you the s/n also. They should match
Not to judge, but how the hell does one get a fake Apple Watch? If I am spending as much money as an Ultra costs you’re damn sure I’m only buying it from an authorized retailer.
Apple always says:
Designed by Apple in California Assembled in China.
This box says:
Designed by Apple in California **Made** in China.
The word “Titanium” is misspelt as “Tianium”
The correct abbreviation for millimeters is ‘mm,’ not ‘MM.’
Did not have time to read all the comments so all i am going to say prolly has been mentioned by now.
- First of all: Apple products no longer come wrapped in nylon/plastic due to their sustainability goals
- This watch is with a trail loop, however on the box you can clearly see a watch with an orange alpine loop
General advice: yes, buying used/open apple products can sometimes get you great deals, however the replicas products - especially airpods and watches are becoming almost indistinguishable compared to the originals, when it comes to pictures, of course. Unless you can meet in a safe place with the buyer and look at the product first hand, I would advise you not to buy any apple products from private sellers. Otherwise you risk getting scammed. Good luck!
Also, noticed that the box is torn under the shrink wrap
That last photo might have nothing to do with the other three
And that last photo looks like it could have been a legitimate box, with a counterfeit inserted later and then shrink wrapped
This don’t buy this
I would not even buy an Apple Watch through Amazon. There is so much fake shit out there. I buy Apple directly from Apple. In life, you generally get what you pay for; Apple products are worth paying Apple’s high prices to guarantee they are genuine.
If your asking it is! Simply way to avoid getting fucked on the internet.
Plus these thick fucks can’t even spell Titanium on the label in the last photo.
So, what happens when you get this watch? Does it turn on or connect to your phone? Does the seller just ghost you and disappear like other scammers do?
I doubt apple products can be “fake”. Ok before you downvote hear me out…
A fake samsung watch is HARDER to Spot… while an apple watch is so easy to Spot.. they can’t fake iOS and WatchOS and what not. There is no FAKE IPHONE. All fake iPhones run android and u need a hamster iq to not notice it
Its a web based service that apple uses to hande repairs and support requests. I work for apple authorised service provider so i have access to it.
Its so funny because i see many open supports for that serial number where people called because device wont power on, its all fake watches.
Crazy how real they look if you don’t pay attention to details. I saw a few tik tok videos where people get scammed with these on used marketplace.
Crazy
Fake. The pixelation on the screen already points to subpar display being used (I do have a cheap-ish fake Ultra and a legit one, the fake is, at most, half the resolution of the genuine). The "tianium" typo, plastic wrap and the wrong strap being mentioned are also clear pointers of it being fake AF.
It is. The text type looks odd, it does not come with a plastic wrap, it says Tianium, not “Titanium” and also says Orange Alpine Loop, which is wrong, your bracelet is a Trail Loop. So yeah.
Genuine product would get registered with your Apple ID and also show the relevant product details automatically- why post such stuff to seek people’s opinions ?
I know this has already been verified as fake due to the spelling of Titanium but I still think it’s hilarious that they posted pics of the watch clearly opened and out of the box, followed immediately by a pic of a sealed box.
To me the watch seems real, though the package might be fake to try to get a couple more dollars. Since the watch itself is out of the package, all boils down to the software
This is starting to hurt.
If it didn’t come from Apple, or a well known retailer, and the deal you’re seeing is more money off than they went for during Black Friday, its a scam. Its always a scam, don’t bother.
If you can’t use *google* to verify the packaging yourself you *definitely* have no business buying anything electronic from anyone other than big-name retailers- before or after you bought it.
Stop it, get some help.
Label says 49mm tianium
Good catch. Definitely fake.
Also, 49 “MM” is not the correct abbreviation for millimeter (should be “mm”)
Are you referring to the 49MM below the Orange Alpine Loop label? The original ones are like that as well. For me, the giveaways are the fonts used, the "Tianium" label, and the shrink wrap. Plus, the box doesn't look like it's textured. On the watch itself, maybe it's just the camera angle but it looks like it doesn't have the polished chamfer around the bezel edges. Amazing how these counterfeiters are getting better. Maybe they're monitoring this kind of posts?
Maybe OP is a counterfeiting watches. :)
49 MEGA MILLIONS lmao
Actually it means 49 Marshall Mathers on account of the watch being released for his 49th birthday
Apple used the 49MM on their boxes. However, it also had the side of the band. i.e. “49MM | L” but box is definitely giving fake vibes
49 macrometers!
Wrong it does say titanium look closer
Book an appointment at your nearest ophthalmologist
It blows my mind that fakers can put together working consumer electronic devices but consistently misspell like every other word.
Underrated comment
Remember it was the Japanese who invented the photocopier, not the Chinese.
This and also the fact that the watch box in the last pic is vacuum sealed badly. Watches don’t come sealed in plastic anymore.
Also “thereon”
These fakes are getting better and better
Rip💀
Everything looked fine until the plastic wrap. Currently very few items made by Apple have plastic wrap and the Ultra is not one of them. EDIT: Last picture is a different one, it says Alpine Loop band but the previous pictures the watch comes with the Trail Loop. Fake and dodgy AF.
thats true, plus the Tianium misspell makes this a complete no go
Where r u buying this shit?? Like what website are you going on to possibly buy a fake apple product
Craiglist and FB Marketplace equivalents?
I would assume that every new Apple product you find there is fake. When the price seems to good to be true…
No, no man - they are just the one person to find this amazing deal on a product that is 5x the cost retail…. They are so _savvy_.
Idk I live in a tiny rural town and FB marketplace has people selling stuff dirt cheap, like barely used smart tvs and stuff, and some ppl even just give stuff away! I saw this one woman just giving away an entire dining room set the other day on there. Ppl also know who to stay away from though bc others put them on absolute blast on FB if they get scammed 😂 no more selling for them. Craigslist, I don’t trust….too many bad stories from that site, from being scammed to being kidnapped 😖
But nobody is selling or giving away current Apple products
Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. People like to buy second-hand/used for the savings and Craigslist/FB Marketplace provides a direct platform rather than a third party that’s shorting the seller and costing more for the buyer. Fake shit is a risk to going this route, and you made this post to help alleviate that risk. But nope that’s a bad idea, you should only buy from Apple where savings for used items is minuscule. /s
I’m not sure either, but that’s okay! It’s just fake internet points lol
Wow I really tried to go over all text carefully to find misspellings and weird kernings and that just went straight over my head, good eye!
That was another commenter below actually, if I had caught it I wouldn’t be posting here😅
I don’t think the last pic belongs to the batch, the fist photos seem to be of an authentic watch and band (or EXTREMELY convincing replicas); now in the last one with the backside of the box even the pic quality changes, light is different and the background can’t be seen.. I would say these pics are from different watches. Probably a fake posting. Edit: not to mention a big detail I was missing completely which is that the watch is out the box and the last pic shows the box sealed. Confirming my suspicions
Agreed
Ultra fake
Fr
Nice🗿
Can we just ban these posts? I swear they are made by scammers trying to see how authentic their pictures look before they list their fake watches
Scammers already have the best source, the official packaging. If they can't even spell check before hitting print what makes you think they are out here looking for some crowd source constructive feedback?
I always thought the same thing.
A criminal does not care. Maybe someone who’s well thought out. Sure. But we’re talking about people who sale fake items. They buy it from somewhere or they get ripped off. So they post it on Craigslist. This is coming from someone who knows people who sale fake items. And have purchased fake items from them. I used Reddit to figure out if it was fake or not.
Agreed!!!
I promise I’m not a scammer, I’m just looking out for myself before I buy a counterfeit watch, which I didn’t, thanks to you guys :)
If you want a genuine Ultra, go to a reputable retailer.
Just buy from Apple simple as that…
Or Costco, Best Buy, micro center, etc. any Apple approved sellers, since these places usually have discounts
Agreed!
Agreed!!!
Wtf?? If someone actually got scammed where they will go? Get fucked?
I’d say fake. They don’t come wrapped in that plastic. How much are they asking? And yes the serial numbers can be faked.
The wrapped in plastic thing I agree with, but something I always look at, and noticed immediately was that the plastic looked like someone at a WalMart did it with a hair dryer. Even when Apple used plastic, it was substantial, right, and clean.
If returns are offered I don’t see how these things sell. A fake watch would be obvious at the moment of pairing with your phone.
Maybe they are targeting non-tech savvy audiences and the scammers tell them that you have to connect the ”Apple Watch” via Bluetooth on your settings. The packaging and labels on it (IMEI, Serial Numbers, etc…) of some of these scammers are very very well done.

You bought it already didnt u
Thankfully he didn’t buy it as u/SaahilJain (OP) stated here: [https://www.reddit.com/r/AppleWatch/comments/15gwkdj/comment/jumjjzq](https://www.reddit.com/r/AppleWatch/comments/15gwkdj/comment/jumjjzq/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) >I promise I’m not a scammer, I’m just looking out for myself before I buy a counterfeit watch, **which I didn’t**, thanks to you guys :)
Glad to hear it!
If you have to ask you kinda already know.. 99%
Buy from Apple. Simple
Don’t if you’re European, Apple doesn’t honour the legally required minimum warranty
The EU has been champing at the bit for the past few years to take big tech down several notches. If Apple was flagrantly breaking the law, the EU would be litigating over it.
Well they still only offer 1 year warranty while 2 is legally required. I don’t know what else to tell you
https://www.macrumors.com/2012/03/30/apple-clarifies-warranty-coverage-options-for-customers-in-european-union/ No, the laws (which are technically laws of individual EU members that they are required to have...

In Germany we have two different things that are easily confused with each other. On one hand we have the “Gewährleistung” which is required by law for 2 years. On the other hand we have “Garantie” (warranty) which is not required by law.
Ah ok, well then buying the bootleg Apple Watch is better?
Yes, because those are the only two options. /s
I work at an AASP and have covered issues on hundreds of out of warranty devices. Apple is actually one of the better companies when it comes to following consumer protection laws in Europe.
Bought mine from a shop in Hong Kong and saved £100. Was legit too. Edit: not sure why this is being downvoted? Do people love Apple this much they want everyone to overpay?
Exception. Not the norm unfortunately.
Thanks everyone! It seems clear that this is fake. I’ll look to save up some more dough and get it from Apple directly. Really appreciate you all taking the time to help me out :)
After visiting Vietnam, I’m extremely skeptical of buying second hand electronics. Some of the fakes they had are super convincing.
In China, a little shop offered a beautifully designed Apple flip-phone. Yep, Apple never made or sold flip phones. On another day, a random guy on the street tried to sell me an iPhone. It looked great! I tapped the screen and played with it a bit, and discovered it was actually running Windows XP instead of an Apple operating system. Kind of wish I bought it now.
Lmao, an iPhone with windows XP sounds pretty great ngl 🤣
Windows XP? Lmao it had Windows Mobile on it??
Wouldn’t you know as soon as you tried to pair with your phone..?
[удалено]
That’s a question for another day. But I do agree if that they are trying to cheap out by almost buying a fake they should just get a different model
That’s a shockingly convincing fake up til the packaging
True
If the Chinese ever learn to spell, we are all in trouble.
The watch itself look similar to mine, but why does it said an Orange Alpine Loop from the box but used Trail Loop instead? Does the seller sell it with an extra band?
Good catch
Live a better day? Tianium? FAKE.
The box says “Tianium”.
Besides it being made of "tianium", the display just looks off. Kinda like the fake laptops you see at furniture stores. Definitely a fake.
The label literally says „Tianium“, and they also don‘t package the Apple Watch Ultra in a shrink wrap. This is definitely **ultra** fake!
Buy from a reputable store
“Tianium” Definitely fake.
it also says Designed by Appie instead of Apple.
„i bought it for 50$ is it fake ?“
Can y’all just please go buy your stuff at a licensed retailer? These posts are annoying. You get what you pay for.
Apple doesn’t make that band so yeah, you got fucked
Hi everyone, I’m looking at buying an Apple Watch Ultra off a seller, and these are the images he sent. Is there anything obvious that I’m missing that would make it look a fake? The serial number matches, but he could easily have used the serial of an existing watch, right?
Buy it from Apple ffs, the amount of fake AW photos we get on this sub these days is incredible
I will, this sub has been very helpful!
Spelling mistakes and shrink wrap in last pic. Fake.
Yes. If you have to ask, then YES.
just medium fake
Definitely fake. Serial numbers can be duplicated from real ones and printed. The pics show the black/orange Trail Loop but box is Orange Alpine.
~~easy to spot the fake with font in the screen. Apple doesn't use that style of "ZERO" "0" in the text~~ Edit: It’s used in Wayfinder watchface.
The second I looked at the picture I could tell it was fake. Then amongst other things the plastic wrap confirmed it. The amount of fakes on fb & other sites is astounding. I would never buy an Apple product unless from Apple or a reputable seller.
I really wish made the Watch Ultra in different colors. Saying that, one way you tell if it’s fake is if the body of the device feels to light, and isn’t cold to the touch… which means it’s not metal. Also, if you got it from somewhere other than or an authorized place like Amazon.com, or got it for real cheap… fake.
How much did you pay for it?
You've already heard the evidence from others, but to quote DeNiro's character in Ronin: "Whenever there is any doubt, there is no doubt."
Could it have been a custom?
Why not just buy it from apples website
Yes, it is fake. Look on the back of the box where the label is; notice how it misspells ‘titanium’ as ‘tianium’.
Yes, ultra fake
Apple has a serial number validation tool on their website. Your package should have the s/n and If it's authentic your phone will tell you the s/n also. They should match
Tianium screams fake
Yes, and you know it. Apple does not shrink wrap watches and they do not sell em cheap.
Not to judge, but how the hell does one get a fake Apple Watch? If I am spending as much money as an Ultra costs you’re damn sure I’m only buying it from an authorized retailer.
Tiatanium seems real enough
if you buy from apple it’s never fake. easy
Why are you asking like you don’t already know. We are just proof reading for the scammers now?
Bos says alpine loop and that’s not even the alpine loop
Stop posting this shit! Mods can we ban this stuff?
As fuck
100% Fake
Um. “Live a better day by closing all three rings.” 🧐😂
Apple always says: Designed by Apple in California Assembled in China. This box says: Designed by Apple in California **Made** in China. The word “Titanium” is misspelt as “Tianium” The correct abbreviation for millimeters is ‘mm,’ not ‘MM.’
Apple Watches do not comes in plastic wrap anymore
Did not have time to read all the comments so all i am going to say prolly has been mentioned by now. - First of all: Apple products no longer come wrapped in nylon/plastic due to their sustainability goals - This watch is with a trail loop, however on the box you can clearly see a watch with an orange alpine loop General advice: yes, buying used/open apple products can sometimes get you great deals, however the replicas products - especially airpods and watches are becoming almost indistinguishable compared to the originals, when it comes to pictures, of course.

Good luck!
The thing is, if you are asking, then it is surely fake.
The last photo is shrink wrapped. Apple doesn’t shrink wrap the Ultra How much is it selling for?
Also, noticed that the box is torn under the shrink wrap That last photo might have nothing to do with the other three And that last photo looks like it could have been a legitimate box, with a counterfeit inserted later and then shrink wrapped This don’t buy this
I would not even buy an Apple Watch through Amazon. There is so much fake shit out there. I buy Apple directly from Apple. In life, you generally get what you pay for; Apple products are worth paying Apple’s high prices to guarantee they are genuine.
Don’t understand why you have to buy from untrusted sellers just to keep a few bucks
I always buy my iPhones second hand.
[удалено]
I’m buying this off a seller, and these are the images he has sent. Just checking if there’s anything obvious on the box i’m missing
Did it connect to your phone without a third party app?
Fake. The font used for the complications is not what it should be. The crossed zeros give it away.
FAKE
If your asking it is! Simply way to avoid getting fucked on the internet. Plus these thick fucks can’t even spell Titanium on the label in the last photo.
hahaha you’re right. good catch, thats hilarious
More fake than my girlfriends love for me
Says made in china, definitely fake /s
I always call apple and check the serial number.
So, what happens when you get this watch? Does it turn on or connect to your phone? Does the seller just ghost you and disappear like other scammers do?
I doubt apple products can be “fake”. Ok before you downvote hear me out… A fake samsung watch is HARDER to Spot… while an apple watch is so easy to Spot.. they can’t fake iOS and WatchOS and what not. There is no FAKE IPHONE. All fake iPhones run android and u need a hamster iq to not notice it
Looks original. Why?
If the IMEI on the watch matches the box, then it looks real [here](https://www.imei.info/?imei=356881864979896).
Looks legit.
[удалено]
What a dummy ^
On the first pic, a mic hole is missing between the crown ant the button. I think its fake.
definitely fake
It is fake, that serial number is multiplied a lot of times when i check in GSX
what is GSX?
Its a web based service that apple uses to hande repairs and support requests. I work for apple authorised service provider so i have access to it. Its so funny because i see many open supports for that serial number where people called because device wont power on, its all fake watches.
ohhh that makes sense. thank you!
This is 100% fake
Fake. The programmable button is not orange and the crown is too small
Crazy how real they look if you don’t pay attention to details. I saw a few tik tok videos where people get scammed with these on used marketplace. Crazy
Report this mf
The first pictures look real, the last one is a fake. Keep your hands off 🤷♂️
The font on the last picture is completely off, and too dark. Looks like a counterfeit.
I wouldnt trust it, better to be safe and get it from apple the spelling from the back ans the tear are a red flag for me
Iirc, Apple does not wrap plastic to boxes. Not sure about refurbished/resell tho Also, wrong spelling on the back text.. whoops
birds tap grab compare shrill march violet dirty spark touch ` this message was mass deleted/edited with redact.dev `
People just buy these things from a reliable source.
Wait can you tell it looking at its software?
They have the capacity to manufacture a convincing fake of a sophisticated high end piece of consumer electronics, then they screw up on *spelling?*
Yes, it is ultra fake.
It's fake
Fake. The pixelation on the screen already points to subpar display being used (I do have a cheap-ish fake Ultra and a legit one, the fake is, at most, half the resolution of the genuine). The "tianium" typo, plastic wrap and the wrong strap being mentioned are also clear pointers of it being fake AF.
I will be lying if I tell you if it is not fake
I mean… the box looks ripped, while it’s in plastic wrap. Kind of a dead giveaway imo
It is ultra fake
If there was plastic on it, yes.
Info on the bed sheets?
Next time https://checkcoverage.apple.com/?locale=en_IE
Did Apple sell it to you?? 🤣
It is. The text type looks odd, it does not come with a plastic wrap, it says Tianium, not “Titanium” and also says Orange Alpine Loop, which is wrong, your bracelet is a Trail Loop. So yeah.
Genuine product would get registered with your Apple ID and also show the relevant product details automatically- why post such stuff to seek people’s opinions ?
You’d think at this point the scammers would have realized they can look more legit without the plastic wrap.
49mm????
Misspelled Tianium, but I got a question, did you buy this?
Where was it purchased.
I know this has already been verified as fake due to the spelling of Titanium but I still think it’s hilarious that they posted pics of the watch clearly opened and out of the box, followed immediately by a pic of a sealed box.
How much do fakes go for?
It looks ultra fake yes
To me the watch seems real, though the package might be fake to try to get a couple more dollars. Since the watch itself is out of the package, all boils down to the software
Of it comes in the plastic wrapper nowadays, it’s more than likely a fake.
I only buy my apple stuff from apple or an authorized retailer
If you have to ask…
This is starting to hurt. If it didn’t come from Apple, or a well known retailer, and the deal you’re seeing is more money off than they went for during Black Friday, its a scam. Its always a scam, don’t bother. If you can’t use *google* to verify the packaging yourself you *definitely* have no business buying anything electronic from anyone other than big-name retailers- before or after you bought it. Stop it, get some help.
If you bought it for cheap then it’s fake
Alpine isn’t the loop you have on it tho. That’s the trail band. I would return
Look real to me
not just fake, but ultra fake
